According to Dr. Hoang Van Cong (General Surgery Department, Hung Vuong Gia Lai Hospital), through examination and paraclinical tests, doctors discovered that the patient had a large stone in the bladder that occupied the entire bladder cavity, causing the risk of mucosal damage, infection and impaired urination function. Because the stone was too large and could not be expelled naturally, doctors ordered open bladder surgery to remove the stone.

The surgical team successfully removed a stone measuring more than 10 cm, bringing relief to the patient after years of pain. Currently, the patient's health is stable, the surgical wound is progressing well and he is eligible for discharge.

Through this surgery, Dr. Hoang Van Cong recommends: When abnormal signs such as painful urination, frequent urination, pain in the lower abdomen appear, etc., people should not be subjective but should immediately go to reputable medical facilities for timely examination and treatment.
